Make Bizcochitos this Holiday Season or Anytime #FBLCookieExchange

December 4, 2017 Filed Under: Desserts

These Bizcochitos may be my new favorite Christmas cookie, a shortbread cookie studded with crushed anise seeds and topped with cinnamon sugar. So crisp and flavorful.

 

Bizcochitos (or biscochitos) are a traditional New Mexican cookie made with anise and cinnamon.

Today is reveal day for the recipes for the #FBLCookieExchange organized by the awesome crew at The Pintertest Kitchen. I am excited to see and pin the recipes for the cookies I received.

Chestnut Shortbread, Pumpkin Gingersnaps, Salted Caramel Kahlua Sugar Cookies

Be sure to scroll to the bottom to see all of the recipes by all of the bloggers. I am sure you will find something to tickle your taste buds… in addition to these Bizcochitos of course.
